Jivanmukta (Hindi: जीवनमुक्त, Bengali: জীবনমুক্ত, liberated in life) is a liberated stage where someone has got become free from the circle of births and deaths and samsara. Jivanmukta is a highly esteemed stage of a human life and a Jivanmukta person is free from misery, bondage and maya.

In this article we'll make a collection of Swami Vivekananda's quotes and comments of Jivanmukta.

It is easier to become a Jivanmukta (free in this very life) than to be
an Acharya. For the former knows the world as a dream and has no concern
with it; but an Acharya knows it as a dream and yet has to remain in it
and work. It is not possible for everyone to be an Acharya. He is an
Acharya through whom the divine power acts. The body in which one
becomes an Acharya is very different from that of any other man. There
is a science for keeping that body in a perfect state. His is the most
delicate organism, very susceptible, capable of feeling intense joy and
intense suffering. He is abnormal.[Source]

Shri Ramakrishna is a force. You should not think that his doctrine is
this or that. But he is a power, living even now in his disciples and
working in the world. I saw him growing in his ideas. He is still
growing. Shri Ramakrishna was both a Jivanmukta and an Acharya.[Source]

The Jivanmukta ('the living free' or one who knows) alone is able to
give real love, real charity, real truth, and it is truth alone that
makes us free. Desire makes slaves of us, it is an insatiable tyrant and
gives its victims no rest; but the Jivanmukta has conquered all desire
by rising to the knowledge that he is the One and there is nothing left
to wish for.[Source]

Throw aside your Karma and all such stuff. If it is a truth that by your
own past action you have got this body; then, nullifying the effects of
evil works by good works, why should you not be a Jivanmukta in this
very body? Know that freedom or Self - knowledge is in your own hands.
In real knowledge there is no touch of work. But those who work after
being Jivanmuktas do so for the good of others. They do not look to the
results of works. No seed of desire finds any room in their mind. And
strictly speaking it is almost impossible to work like that for the good
of the world from the householder's position. In the whole of Hindu
scriptures there is the single instance of King Janaka in this respect.
But you nowadays want to pose as Janakas (lit. fathers) in every home by
begetting children year after year, while he was without the body -
consciousness![Source]

Until we give up the world manufactured by the ego, never can we enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. None ever did, none ever will. To give up the
world is to utterly forget the ego, to know it not at all, living in the
body but not being ruled by it. This rascal ego must be obliterated.
Power to help mankind is with the silent ones who only live and love and
withdraw their own personality entirely. They never say "me" or "mine",
they are only blessed in being the instruments to help others. They are
wholly identified with God, asking nothing and not consciously doing
anything. They are the true Jivanmuktas -- the absolutely selfless,
their little personality thoroughly blown away, ambition non - existent.
They are all principle, with no personality. The more we sink the
"little self", the more God comes. Let us get rid of the little "I" and
let only the great "I" live in us. Our best work and our greatest
influence is when we are without a thought of self. It is the
"desireless" who bring great results to pass. Bless men when they revile
you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the
false ego. Hold fast to the real Self, think only pure thoughts, and you
will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity
and silence comes the word of power.[Source]

When a man has reached that state, he is called Jivanmukta,
living-free", free even while living. The aim and end in this life for
the Jnâna-Yogi is to become this Jivanmukta, "living-free". He is
Jivanmukta who can live in this world without being attached. He is like
the lotus leaves in water, which are never wetted by the water. He is
the highest of human beings, nay, the highest of all beings, for he has
realised his identity with the Absolute, he has realised that he is one
with God. So long as you think you have the least difference from God,
fear will seize you, but when you have known that you are He, that there
is no difference, entirely no difference, that you are He, all of Him,
and the whole of Him, all fear ceases. "There, who sees whom? Who
worships whom? Who talks to whom? Who hears whom? Where one sees
another, where one talks to another, where one hears another, that is
little. Where none sees none, where none speaks to none, that is the
highest, that is the great, that is the Brahman." Being That, you are
always That. What will become of the world then? What good shall we do
to the world? Such questions do not arise "What becomes of my
gingerbread if I become old?" says the baby! "What becomes of my marbles
if I grow? So I will not grow," says the boy! "What will become of my
dolls if I grow old?" says the little child! It is the same question in
connection with this world, it has no existence in the past, present, or
future. If we have known the Âtman as It is, if we have known that
there is nothing else but this Atman, that everything else is but a
dream, with no existence in reality, then this world with its poverties,
its miseries, its wickedness, and its goodness will cease to disturb
us. If they do not exist, for whom and for what shall we take trouble?
This is what the Jnana-Yogis teach.[Source]

When one sees a mirage for the first time, he mistakes it for a reality,
and after vainly trying to quench his thirst in it, learns that it is a
mirage. But whenever he sees such a phenomenon in future, in spite of
the apparent reality, the idea that he sees a mirage always presents
itself to him. So is the world of Maya to a Jivanmukta (the liberated in
life).[Source]
